Based on transformation optics (TO), we present and experimentally realize a new thermal carpet cloak. The device, which we call a "thermal carpet", provides a considerable cloaking effect. The device is designed, fabricated and measured to verify the thermal cloaking performance. In comparison with previous experimental work, the advantage of this design is that the required medium parameter is inherently isotropic and thus easier to fabricate.
